The construction of this engineering marvel, the life styles that resulted alongside it and its effect on the western part of the United States are explored in this DB. Information on the economy with the cargo transported and toll system is also touched upon. Because of the content it is intended for 4th grades but could be used by 5th graders and very good 3rd gr.readers. As I mentioned in class I now consider myself a "New Yorker" with all I learned from my own research for this box.
It has been used by a class with positive results I was told. Unfortunately, because I was absent that day, I missed hearing the interchange by students with the clues and objects. I finished with approximately 20 clues and 18 objects; I'm still on the hunt for a few more. A small bridge or arch have proven to be a challenge! And I do have extras of small farm animals and lots of paper money or coins if anyone needs any.
